Select google account in messaging
- username : yourFacebookName@chat.facebook.com
- password : yourFacebookPassword

That should work .
Please tell me if that did work so i can update the tutorial

Hello, could anyone explain how to do this novacom stuff? I downloaded the pre1x.zip and extracted the fb folder to my phone memory. And now?

It's working for me as well but, as someone pointed out on the previous page, it's mandatory rebooting your Palm Pixi after following the steps or it won't connect to your FB account.

You must install Virtualbox 3.2 and Palm SDK on your PC. Later, execute a command terminal (cmd.exe on Windows "Start" supposing your OS is W7) and then follow the instructions on this page. Good luck!

Did everything according to instructions, but for some reason could not connect. First disable Google Calendar. Now when you try to mount a Google search account automatically replaces my Gmail mail on yourFacebookName@chat.facebook.сом - and accordingly an error connecting your account ... Help please.

got stuck at this step
-> 2 :
Connect using novacom or run these command in a terminal :
Quote:
cd /media/internal/fb
chmod +x step1.sh

not sure how to use novacom or which terminal on my Pre2 to use

@gnomesgames: Thank you very much for this great tutorial. Worked great for me on my pixi with WebOS 2.1

[toaste]

Never mind. Decided to just buy the app instead of trying to figure this out.

Hi forgive me if this is a painfully dumb question, but how do I put the 'fb' folder onto my phone memory? Using Quick Install?

Connect the phone in usb drive mode then open it in windows file explorer and transfer the folder.

REPLACE with your real info then run :
NEVER RUN THIS TWICE IN A ROW ! If you misspelled or anything, RUN STEP 4 BEFORE RUNNING IT AGAIN ! This script assume that everything is UNMODIFIED !

Excuse me, "replace" what?

Actually, I thought this stopped working at some point. (Correct me if I'm wrong?)

QuickChat for Facebook app is pretty fantastic solution though.

Thanks - it worked on Pre3 ! except strange addresses lik12345667890@chat.facebook.com which i've gotta manually to link to the existing contacts. Thanks a lot. Now i'll see how badly it's gonna influence my battery - which is not to be proud of already
